Slice of SciFi #246: Voice Mail Show

This is the show where our loyal, adoring, and inquisitive fans and listeners get to hear us comment on their comments about our stories and comments… it’s the Circle of Entertainment Life!

We do want to hear your comments and feedback… No, really, we do! Pay no attention to how much Mike grumbles about them — you know, that guy sitting in the dark corner with all of the blinky lights, the knobs and the scotch.

This week, Mike, Brian, Sam, Bret and Tim respond to the questions and comments posed by your voicemail submissions, and as always, BEWARE SPOILERS!!

I’ll agree with Brian on 3-D (hopefully) being a fad though. As beautiful as the visuals in Avatar were, the 3-D would start to hurt my eyes, so I’d need to remove the glasses every 5 or 6 minutes to do an eye rub. In retrospect I wish I’d seen it on a normal screen.

Will: I’m of the opinion there are two types of predictable. There’s the bad kind where a lazy writer telegraphs what’s going to happen so badly a scene that’s supposed to be a shock has little to no impact. Then there’s the kind where you find yourself going “ooh, the writer and I are on the same wavelength! Cool!” I vaguely remember Summer saying something to this effect back when she was still on Slice.

I just wanted to say Thank God! I felt like the only one in the world who thought the Twilight books were the worst possible thing for young girls to read, or anyone for that matter. Glad to know I am not the only one disgusted by their popularity.

I was gonna call in about the caring about the avatar characters also, but I’m sure someone’s gonna say it. I liked the dynamic between Jake and the Soldiers, Sceintists and Na’vi. He had to prove himself to everyone. Oh and when my girl was up in the chopper with the face paint. . . ok, now I’m getting a little sniffly (what’s the word? verclemt?) Compared to If shay labouf dodges a missle you curse the guy who fired it for missing.

I hope it’s not an age thing. I mean, on the grand scale of the average human lifespan I’m a hop skip and jump away from 30 (no, really. I know my voice implies otherwise, but I actually turn 28 in 11 days). I’d hate to think I’ve only got about 2 years left to actually enjoy movies and TV. 😉
